IRC–COMMUNICATIONS
• Real time check tracking detail transfer, as any check is updated that information is available on all terminals within the system Real time employee sale interruption update, allowing operators to float around the system, opening, closing, and adding to a sale on any terminal. Networked remote order printers, allowing remote order printing to be customized Consolidated reports for all machines in the system, also the ability to select from a terminal if individual machines are required, i.e. reports required for terminal 3, 5, and 7, Simple networked cashing up reports, allow all terminals to be cashed up from any register Real time product creation, products amended or created any where on the system will automatically be transmitted throughout the network.

SETTING UP IRC SYSTEM.
Up to 16 Terminals can be connected together in one system. Each terminal must have a unique consecutive Register / Machine Number (1 - 16)

YCR have set-up two types of cabling systems for IRC. Details of which are illustrated overleaf.

IRC–REAL TIME COMMUNICATIONS- TECHNICAL
YCR– Have two types of cabling systems which have been set-up to assist with cabling. Simple Snap on Modular Connection. A Twisted Pair backbone cable is run between each register & the hub in the IRC circuit, then a flat modular cable with an RJ11 connector is soldered to the backbone cable and covered with heat-shrink. It is important to use a single twisted pair of wires from the backbone cable using the same colours at each register. (I.e. if red is connected to pin 1, red must be connected to pin 1 on all registers etc.) The drain wire shown below is the wire that has no plastic coating and runs in the shield of the backbone cable.

Ferrite Core

Heat Shrink

Note: -Always wrap the cable around the ferrite core at least twice

Wall Mounted Modular System. A Twisted Pair backbone cable is run between each register & the hub in the IRC circuit, these cables are run into a RJ11 modular socket box. All connections are made in the box and then a pre moulded modular cable is connected from the box to the register.

Note: - Always wrap the cable around the ferrite core at least twice

CLERK INTERRUPT
• The ability to interrupt a sale in progress and commence another sale for a different employee, (Clerk Interrupt) The ability to open a transaction on one terminal and have that transaction be available for sales on any terminal within the system. The interrupt feature is available along with such features as check tracking, scanning etc. allowing a truly flexible system. Clerk Interrupt sales can also be posted to a check at the beginning of a sale or at any time during the transaction. A maximum of 99 clerks can be programmed with the Clerk Interrupt feature The clerk interrupt feature can be used via the ten clerk buttons, or via the Cashier # sign on button. Any clerk number can be programmed to one of the ten clerk buttons allowing a flexible system per register within the network Up to 15 clerk interrupts are available via real keys.

Enable Floating Clerks- (For a Multiple Register System - ensure the IRC setup has been done)
This will enable a clerk to open a sale on one terminal and move through the network making further sales and cashing off the transaction P-MODE

CHECK TRACKING SYSTEM
• IRC transfer of live tracking data, allowing a check to be recalled and cashed off one any terminal within a network Clerk interrupt running alongside the check tracking allow interrupt balances to be added to a check Designated printer billing, with either receipt or in addition a specified billing printer Check tracking running with the order printing system to provide the total restaurant solution. Guest count and table number entry during check operation The ability to maintain balances only using the hard check system, which uses less memory than detail tracking as the balances not products are stored. Ideal of retail environments as opposed to the hospitality systems.

NOTE: Ensure the correct set up is done during the “All Clear” procedure. (“Check Type” should usually be set to 1).

Programming the Register Number.
S-MODE - Program each ECR individually

Reg No 1 - 16

Program the location of the Check Tracking File
This option determines which register will be storing the registration data for tracking data, the same register is also used to store any clerk interrupt balances. P-MODE

NOTE: If the check tracking file is to be transfer across an IRC network ensure the previous pages for IRC set-up have been completed

REMOTE ORDER PRINTING
• • • Up to seven kitchen printers can be connected in one system Sales entered anywhere in the system can be printed to any kitchen printer. A route number is given for each printer and this route number is programmed to the product providing a more flexible programming system. Backup routes can be programmed providing excellent system management, allowing data to be diverted to an alternative printer. Each product can be programmed to more than one route allowing an item to be sent to numerous order printers simultaneously.

Route 2

IRC Connection

ECR 2

In the example above Route 1 is programmed to ECR 1 and Route 2 is programmed to ECR 2. The “Backup Route” for Route 1 is Route 2. Sales have been entered on ECR 2, which have been programmed to print on the kitchen printer connected as Route 1. Unfortunately, the printer on Route 1 has failed, the data will now be redirected and printed to the kitchen printer on Route 2.

REMOTE ORDER PRINTING
Each printer is given a route number which sets where the printer is physically connected i.e. register 2 port 1. This route number is then allocated to a product, upto 4 routes of the 7 in total can be allocated to one product. This allows simultaneous printing on more then one printer, or different routings for the same products on various terminals in the network; for example PLU 1 may be programmed to route 1 which on register 1 means print on REG 1 PORT 2 but on register 2 route 1 may mean print on REG 2 PORT 1- Each route may also have a backup printer.

REMOTE BILL PRINTING
YCR – SER65xxII Page 17

Detailed Billing provided for check tracking files Checks can be printed as and when required of set to print automatically when check movements occur Various printer types available including thermal, dot matrix and loose leaf paper printers. The ability to print a bill on the same request to the receipt and to the designated bill printers. Checks can be opened and sales made anywhere on the system then opened on the terminal with the bill printer connected for bill printing.

Setting The Bill or Slip Print Options
This procedure with set either the bill print or the slip print (loose-leaf printer) key to print at a specific port, with optional printing on the receipt and closing of a check if opened. There as also further options which can be found in the Samsung programming book for automated bill printing etc. which will enhance this feature. When a bill is required in register simply enter the number to be printed and press the bill or slip print key.

BARCODE PRINTING ON SRP3xx

BARCODE SCANNING
A bar-code reader can be connected to any of the four serial ports on the ECR. Do not program a bar-code reader to two serial ports at the same time, as this will cause the barcode reader to become inoperable. If a 5v supply is required from the register to power the hand scanner a connection must be made via serial port1 or port2. Higher voltages must NOT be taken from the register. Transmission Speed Port Settings
Enter the number of the port the cable is connected to

Note Always use ferrite cores supplied with register, these should be connected around the cable 250mm from the serial port on the register. Also ensure the scanner has been setup by scanning the appropriate program barcodes.

All check reports (160 - 170) are effective when running on the master ECR (which holds the check tracking data. Revert to the P mode communication option #6 for detail.) You must program S mode program option #15B and clerk interrupt or opened check must be closed to run Z - check report. Otherwise ECR will not generate any report. - Individual opened check report operation.
